Merge the ancient art of Chinese calligraphy with the timeless craft of lantern making in this unique, hands-on workshop
With step-by-step guidance from your tutor, you’ll learn how to use traditional Chinese brushes to write Chinese characters and gain insight into the history and beauty of this ancient art form. Together, we’ll practice writing a short classical Chinese poem and explore key brush techniques.
Next, you’ll assemble your very own traditional Chinese lantern — and write your newly-learned calligraphy on it! (Bonus: it lights up!) Whether it’s a gift for someone special or something to brighten up your space, your handmade glowing lantern will be full of personal meaning.
